Transforming Education, Transforming The World
Leaders from across the world are uniting at the UN Secretary-General’s Transforming Education Summit to address a global education crisis that threatens to derail decades of development gains and is depriving millions of girls across the world of their inherent human right to access a quality education.
As we mobilize financial resources, listen to the world’s youth, identify needs and solutions, and work collectively to elevate education to the top of the global political agenda, we must not forget the 222 million crisis-impacted children and adolescents worldwide. They are left furthest behind and they urgently need our support. Education Cannot Wait’s ground-breaking analysis highlights that about 78 million of these crisis-impacted children are out of school, and close to 120 million are in school but not learning. These shocking figures cannot be allowed to represent the 21st century.Caught in conflicts and protracted crises, displaced by climate change, and fighting to survive in some of the harshest and most inhumane conditions on the planet, these girls and boys need our urgent and unwavering support.
We need to unite in action to deliver on the commitments that will be made at this seminal Summit to ensure girls and boys in places like Bangladesh, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Pakistan, South Sudan, Syria, the Sahel, Ukraine, Yemen and beyond are guaranteed their human right of a 12-year quality education.
This is our commitment to ensure and improve equitable inclusive education and learning outcomes, to protect and improve external financing, to work together in the spirit of multilateral and organizational cooperation to build crisis-resilient education systems, and to scale and mainstream high-impact and evidence-based interventions into results and sustainable impact.
Education Cannot Wait, as the UN’s global fund for education in emergencies and protracted crises, champions these transformational approaches designed to be responsive in the midst of brutal crises by delivering with humanitarian speed and developmental depth to ensure no child or adolescent is left behind.
We urge world leaders to make good on our promises as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals, Charlevoix Declaration, Safe Schools Declaration and other international accords, and support us in realizing 222 Million Dreams for an education, and 222 Million Dreams to use that education to make the world a better one than the world in which they suffer today.

Teachers and education workers have done the impossible to support their students and school communities in this time of crisis.
The crushing workloads, poor pay, and lack of respect and autonomy are leading to burnout and a concerning number of educators leaving the profession they love.
Inequity, injustice, economic crisis, and harsh cuts to public education funding have put quality education for all at risk.
Our students cannot wait. The time to act is now. We must transform education. Teachers and their unions are ready to lead this transformation!
For the first time ever, heads of state from around the world are meeting to focus on education.
Our unique approach has helped partner countries make significant progress in improving learning for hundreds of millions of girls and boys in lower-income countries.
The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the effects of climate change, conflict and economic slowdown, are deepening the learning crisis.
As countries respond to crises and recover, governments must seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity and work with their partners to transform their education systems.
Education systems are complex. They are comprised of interdependent components
A system transformation approach recognizes this complexity and prioritizes bold reforms that accelerate education progress beyond business as usual, supporting large-scale and sustainable change for the benefit of a large number of children, including the most marginalized.
Don’t miss her three top takeaways on the power of youth action, multi-stakeholder partnerships and the digitalization of education.
Education is elevated to its rightful place
The pandemic, natural disasters and political conflicts are having a devastating impact on the futures of children and youth everywhere — even more so those with disabilities.
Children with disabilities are 49% more likely to never attend school, and more likely to be illiterate than children without disabilities.
We can bolster the quality of education for all when we invest in transformative solutions that ensure the wellbeing and success of students with disabilities.
Goodwill is great, but money is what makes things move.
Governments and donors can support these goals by making sure all education programmes and grants mainstream disability and include disability inclusion criteria and targets.
Our education was the biggest budget line and came before food and clothes
Nothing less than our children’s future is at stake.
We need to act fast, and together, to address the education crisis.
